Recently I was allowed to photograph in the space above the Orris Dorman Building on Main Street in Ritzville. Upstairs there is a grand ballroom and the remains of various offices. This entire space is being lovingly restored by local volunteers. The ground floor has been used as a saloon and real estate office but now appears to be vacant. I was able to take a few photographs in the upper floor earlier that appeared in Ritzville 2 posted on August 10, 2015. I hope that I have the opportunity to follow the progress of the restoration.
I used only available light which meant long exposures. No wonder tripods are considered by many as the most important of photographic tools.

These are gorgeous, Mr Skippy!
Skip; Just clarification…The first floor has been used for many things over the years but now houses a Bank, an Extension Office/Learning center, and an Engineers Office….Not vacant…
Great Photos Thank You
Thanks, I stand corrected. I will make it right in next week’s post.
This series is fabulous… What a great location! Once again, you went with your gut, knowing that there was something to explore and expose…
